Tips

Antonino Pigafetta

March 23, 2022

In the hamlet of Turro there is, in an isolated position, the oratory of S. Giovanni Battista, already mentioned in 1582.
Inside, stuccos and frescoes from the late eighteenth century on the vault. The small church also preserves an altarpiece depicting the Beheading of St. John from the mid-17th century; frescoes with the Baptism of Christ and the Sermon of St. John from the end of the 17th century; frontal in scagliola with the Lamb.
On the counter-façade, a sixteenth-century work depicting the Madonna with the saints Rocco and Sebastiano. In the church there are also some ex-votos.
